The pediatrician checked Superkid for strep--negative. Ears--beautiful. Sent us off to the lab, for a quick urine work up and the tests our metabolic specialist ordered. So far, everything has come back normal. We had to wait a long time at the lab, but Superkid was able to go to school this afternoon.

With that out of the way, I was able to stuff the Bionic Man's car with red and brown balloons, and leave a card on his steering wheel. Back at home, I dipped strawberries in chocolate, and wrote love notes to the kiddos and Bionic Man to find when they came home. They were all surprised and thrilled!

The Quote that Really Inspires Me:

"You may think you don’t have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us. The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before—colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter. "What you create doesn’t have to be perfect. So what if the eggs are greasy or the toast is burned? Don’t let fear of failure discourage you. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you—whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside. "If you still feel incapable of creating, start small. Try to see how many smiles you can create, write a letter of appreciation, learn a new skill, identify a space and beautify it." - Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Happiness, Your Heritage"
